Shadab Zeest Hashmi grew up in Peshawar, Pakistan. She moved to the United States to attend Reed College, where she earned her BA, writing a poetry thesis that considered postcolonial Pakistani identity. Hashmi’s books of poetry also meditate on the often-fraught political and cultural exchanges between the United States, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. She is the winner of the San Diego Book Award, Sable’s Hybrid Book Prize, the Nazim Hikmet Poetry Prize and multiple Pushcart nominations. Her books include Baker of Tarifa, Kohl and Chalk, Ghazal Cosmopolitan and the lyric memoir Comb. Her work has been translated into Spanish, Turkish and Urdu, and has appeared or is forthcoming in Prairie Schooner, Thrush, The Cortland Review, Mudlark, Poetry International, Vallum, Poem, The Adirondack Review, Spillway, Atlanta Review, World Literature Today, Wasafiri and other journals worldwide.
